that the ' total award for the final

Hall & .Company is situated, probably
will reach about' $200,000.
The acting secretary's communica
tion; is i civen .below: ;
The Chairman, ToWmittee on Public
Buildings and Grounds, United
States Senate. : "
Sirst-In oombliancejwlth your re
quest, 1 have the honor to 'submit the
following report on Senate Bill 7968.
providing for, an increase of $500.00$
ia ,t!;e Imit)f tcost 'for; the Acqulsi-
tion of a. site , and v the i erection of
new post v of flee, f court house and
ued th0 JLcqmsiuon of site alone an
the limit of ; cost of $150,000, and the
Act of May : SO, 1908, authorized the
construction of t:e huilding at a limit
of cost- of $850,000, making the total
limit of" cost for site atd building
$1,000,000.
The 'Act of June 25, 1910, provides
for the acquisition of additional
land for the site at a limit of cost of
$350,t)00, which is to be payable out
of the $1,000,000 previously author
ised for both the site and Building.
Under the authorization of June 30,
1906, there ha been - expended for
the site, apprahately $105,000.
Condemnation proceedings have
been Instituted for the acquisition of
the. additional land authorized by the
act of June 25, 1910, and awards have
been made as follows:
The CummIns estate A
corner , lot about 6330 . -
squsre feet $138,000.00
Hawaiian Trust Co Inside
lot about 850 square
feet ........ 72,179.82
Office Supply Co. Inside
lot about 3800
square feet 49,872.00
$260,051.82
No award has ieen made in tbe
case of the remaining parcel, which
is a comer lot containing 7000 square
feet, - but from Information received
from the United States Attorney, an
opinion could be ventured that the
award will be approximately $200,000.
making the. total for the acquisition
of all of the additional land required
$460,000,00.
In this connection it may be said
that the properties in question are in
the heart of the business and financial
district of the city, and the value of
same is thereby correspondingly
large.
It Is estimated that an increase of
$300,000 in the present limit for the
site and building will be ample both
for the acquisition of the additional
land required for the site, and for the
construction of a suitable building.
Respectfully,
(Signed) R. O. BAILEY,
Acting Secretary.
